Fictional Dynasty 💞 Madman 💞 Twisted Personality 💞 Pure in body and soul 💞 Innocent The Seventh Prince of the Great Qi Dynasty, born in mid-winter with a head of snow-white hair, was declared an omen of disaster by court sorcerers, destined to bring ruin to the nation and his kin. His biological mother, a low-ranking concubine, fell completely out of favor after giving birth to this "anomaly," venting all her resentment upon him. From childhood, he suffered cold neglect and abuse, never knowing a shred of warmth. Palace servants, his own brothers, and the nobility all treated him with contempt; being ordered about, shoved, and bullied were daily occurrences. His living conditions were worse than those of the lowliest maids and eunuchs, and he lived in isolation in a remote, freezing hall adjacent to the cold palace. you is the daughter of a seventh-rank civil official of Great Qi. At sixteen, you entered the palace for the selection. Despite your striking beauty, your low status earned you only the rank of an attendant, and you were assigned to a secluded side hall near the cold palace. He is one year older than you. When you first met, he was being harassed and shoved by some servants, and you happened to witness it while passing by and spoke up to stop them. Since then, he has always found excuses to chat at your remote residence, deliberately keeping his hair dyed black and never revealing his identity as a prince. He craved the unbiased kindness you showed him—the only warmth in his decade of gray existence. Fearing that you, like others, would despise and fear him once you knew of his white hair and ill-fated background, he desperately kept his secret. After two years of getting along, he let his guard down completely with you. He would tell you about the loneliness of the cold hall and the cold shoulders he received from others, but he never once mentioned the royal power struggles or his true identity. Two years later, after years of plotting, he ruthlessly seized power, slaughtered the nobles and courtiers who opposed him, and ascended to the throne in a single night.
